Notch Butte Lookout 1

Notch Butte is a BLM lookout, at a quick 1/2 mile side trip off Highway 93 between Twin Falls and Shoshone. The butte is only about 300' above the immediate surrounding terrain, but might make a good rover stop.

There are two summits on the butte (both loaded with repeaters), with a "notch" in between them. The lookout may be staffed in the summer.

Driving directions: Three miles south of Shoshone, ID.

How handy! The DN21-22 grid line is a short 1/4-mile scramble from the main Hwy 93. A bare and level spot in scrub brush lets you keep the unpaved road clear, which leads to a cellphone tower toward the south.

Driving directions: From Jackpot, NV, drive north on Hwy 93.
In a half mile, after speed limit rises, look for turnoff on the left.
A signpost has "River 3 miles, 4WD or high clearance advised".
Cross a cattle grate and turn left.

Restrictions: 4WD is needed for loose stuff on unpaved road.

This is a wide open Rest Area on I-84 (US Hwy 26) between Glenns Ferry and Gooding, ID. Look for it between Exit 129 and 137 in southern Idaho.

It's a good easy quick stop off the highway with parking, restrooms and open horizon in all directions.

This rest area near the intersection of I-84 and Hwy 93. However, it is only reached from Eastbound I-84. You can try the nearby Flying J Travel Center if travelling from any direction and for more services.

CJ Strike Dam includes a large wildlife management area about 30 minutes southwest of Mountain Home. This spot on the backed-up Snake River is in the northwest corner of DN22 and offers ample parking for recreation activities. It has an open view toward the southeast across the lake. The park surrounds the lake and you might find other spots with horizons in different directions.

Driving directions: From Mountain Home, take Hwy 51 - 67 - 167.
Turn left (south) onto Strike Dam Cut-Off Road.

Gedney Butte is a mild rise alongside Hwy 51 with a convenient turnoff at a sand pit. Quick and easy access.

It's called a "butte" and it has a road, but it sure looks flat.

This spot on Indian Spring Road has a turnoff to Sugar Loaf about 500' to the west. The road follows a n-s ridge line that probably has some operating spots.

Satellite view suggests off-road access from this point on Coal Bank Road to reach a knoll just north.
